Mr. Kulz,
Attached are the letter and figure concerning the ag ditches draining into the restored stream at Jarmans Oak.
If you need anything else please let us know.
Thanks,

I appear to have had a senior moment. I can't seem to find the letter and site plan that you sent
showing the ditch retention areas to address our concerns about ag ditches draining into the restored
stream. Thank you for making those modifications.
Can you send another copy?
Sorry about that! !

SUBJECT: Jarmans Oak Mitigation Site, Onslow County
In a phone conversation with you last week you voiced your general approval with the subject
project, but you had concerns about the two ditches that intersect with the post-restoration stream
project.
I promised you I would look into the issue and get back with you ASAP. We asked our design
consultant, Grant Lewis, to talk to you about a proposed solution to the ditch connections.
Following his conversation with you, Grant revised Restoration Plan Figure 12A to reflect the
addition of "Marsh Treatment Areas" near the mouth of each ditch (See enclosed figure). These
areas will consist of shallow wetland depressions within the floodplain. The shallow depressions
will provide BMP-type intervention to ensure that initial stormwater pulses must flow into and
through an emergent depression community before draining into the restored stream channel.
The outfall of each shallow depression will be protected from headcut migration through the Site
by rip-rap sills or erosion control fabric at the ditch outfall.
I sincerely hope this concept is acceptable. Please let me know if we can address any other
concerns you might have. We are hopeful that the project can continue to move forward through
the regulatory process without delay. Thanks for your time and cooperation.
Sincerely,
M. Randall Turner

No sweat, another copy is being PDF-ed to you. Btw, are you sure you received the documents? The reason I
ask is that Marion has misdelivered other documents in the past. The documents were hand-delivered to
Marion early last week.

Thanks, Tammy. Your suggestions will be implemented. I am going to
draft a letter to you indicating that we will modify the text of the
Restoration Plan by an addendum which addresses your recommendations. I
will copy the Corps and EEP.

Hi, Randy. I'm getting back to you about the Jarmans Oak restoration
plan. Our comments are below - I understand you have already addressed
the issue of the ditches by adding treatment wetlands. The wetland
portion of the proposal looks fine. The only further concerns involve
some wording in the success criteria section, as detailed below.
1) Concerns and Comments
a) Overall Due to the level of disturbance from agricultural
use (non-existent riparian buffer, straightened and eroding channels,
input of agricultural chemicals, etc.), it appears that the site and
related water quality will benefit from stream and wetland restoration
and enhancement.
b) Streams Our main concern involves the direct discharge of
two agricultural ditches into restored streams, as detailed in Figure
12A of the restoration plan. Input from these ditches will not have had
the water quality and force attenuation benefits associated with passing
through a riparian buffer. We want to make sure that Restoration
Systems has adequately explored the potential impacts of these inputs on
the proposed restored system.
c) Wetlands The proposed design of low gradient, braided stream
flow, and wetland-stream complex at the confluence of the Southern
(East) and Main tributaries is interesting and appears to be well-placed
within hydric Muckalee soils. We appreciate the proposals to
reestablish floodplain connectivity and to minimize construction impacts

RE: Jarmans Oak feedback
in appropriate areas.
d) Success criteria
i) Section 7.0 of the restoration plan should specify that
monitoring will take place for a *minimum of five years* and will
continue until success criteria are fulfilled.
ii) Section 7.6 Vegetation Success Criteria: The restoration plan
suggests supplemental planting if the *average* site density does not
meet designated success criteria. We suggest that, in order to receive
full mitigation credit and maximize potential for site success, the
applicant should perform supplemental planting in significantly failing
subsets of the site, even if the overall site average meets or exceeds
the criteria.
Thank you for the heads up about the project. We look forward to
working with you toward its success. If you have any questions, feel
free to contact me.
Kind regards,
Tammy

Hello, Randy.
Revisions look great - thanks for your responsiveness. Eric & I aren't actually
issuing the WQC for this (we're reviewing all the details while it's in process)
but I don't see any reason for delay, given the current plan. Please let me know if
I can be of further help.
Have a good evening,
Tammy

Guys, Y'all are entertaining my application package for this project, which was delivered to you on April 9/10.
Please let me know when/if you plan on issuing NW/GC. Cyndi, I feel certain we have responded appropriately
to Eric's and Tammy's previous questions. Brad, please tell me that Brother Henry has untangled the Regional
Conditions. I need to mobilize our best stream contractor ASAP. Thanks.
